Their weapons need to come from somewhere...namely, their homes.
Can't do that...unless you have the right to keep and bear arms. Case closed.

Nonsense.

A home inhabited by psychiatric basket cases, violent people with criminal histories, substance abusers, spousal abusers, a home with an unsecured armory is not well-regulated.

Case wide effing open.

There are a few things they haven't considered. One is that George Washington complained heavily about how worthless the militia were. The militia had a few successes up front in the war, but Washington's assessment was they were more trouble than they were worth. They usually voted on who would be their Captain and there would be no discipline. He complained they would eat up his stores and then take off whenever they wanted to. Many were farmers and would leave when it was harvesting or planting time. He wrote letter after letter complaining about them to the Continental Congress. He wanted soldiers that enlisted to be paid, they could discipline them and there was no farm, etc., they needed to tend to. When one state hadn't met its enlistment quota they offered to send volunteers and Washington said no. That's how it was.

I think that's why you see Congress and the State being mostly in charge of the militia in the Constitution because by then they knew they need well disciplined troops. Washington got a Prussian General to discipline his troops and one of the first things he did was have them build latrines because they were walking around in their crap.

And if you look in the Constitution there are no self appointed militia. Only the Fed and the State can designate militia. The unregulated militia is the pool of able bodied men you can enlist and draft from.

To me the 2d Amendment is satisfied if there are there are a hundred or so models each of pistols, shotguns, and rifles. No military capability is necessary to satisfy the 2d Amendment, because it's an individual right unconnected to the militia.

We do have varying opinions here ( see the abstract I posted). The modern disciplined militia is the National Guard. Beyond that we have the individual right to keep and bear arms that is mostly for self defense. We don't need 3%ers, or Oathkeepers, or Nazis playing paramilitary, or have neighborhood gun junkies talking shit and getting themselves worked up. That is all. :)
